  1. The Future of NATIONAL NANOTECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE F. Frankel - copyright Dr. M.C. Roco Chair, Subcommittee on Nanoscience, Engineering and Technology (NSET), National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), http://nano.gov Senior Advisor for Nanotechnology, National Science Foundation November 18, 2002

  2. Nanotechnology • Working at the atomic, molecular and supramolecular levels, in the length scale of approximately 1 – 100 nm range, in order to create materials, device sand systems with fundamentally new properties and functions because of their small structure (see website http://nano.gov) • NNI definition encourages new contributions that were not possible before. Nanotechnology implies: - novel phenomena, properties and functions at nanoscale, which are nonscalable outside of the nm domain - the ability to manipulate matter at the nanoscale in order to change those properties and functions - integration along length scales M.C. Roco, NSF, 10/18/02

  3. Why moving into nanoworld ?A. Intellectual drive: • Miniaturization is of interest - Less space, faster, less material, less energy More important: • Novel properties/ phenomena/ processes - New structures and functions; Engineering beyond nature • Unity and generality - At the building blocks of all natural/artificial things; Systems! • Most efficient length scale for manufacturing - Less energy than for subatomic or macroscopic • Transcendent effects: at the confluence of steams - S&T; Living/non-living ; Interdisciplinarity; Relevance areas It requires a grand coalition, cooperative national program M.C. Roco, NSF, 10/18/02

  4. B. Promise of nanotechnology(examples of societal implications) • Knowledge base: better comprehension of nature, life • A new world of products: ~ $1 trillion / year in 2010-2015 -Materials beyond chemistry: $340B/y in 10 years for materials and processing - Electronics in 10-15 years: $300B/y for semiconductor industry, > integrated circuits - Pharmaceuticals in 10-15 years: about half of production will depend on nanotechnology, affecting about $180 B/y - Chemical plants in 10-15 years: nanostructured catalysts in petroleum and chemical processing, about $100B/y - Aerospace (about $70B/y in 10 years) -Tools (measurement, simulations) ~ $22 B/y in 10y Would require worldwide ~ 2 million nanotech workers • Improved healthcare: extend life-span, its quality, human physical capabilities (~ $31B in tools for healthcare in 10 years) • Sustainability: agriculture, food, water, energy (~$45B/y in 10 years), materials, environment; ex: lighting energy reduction ~ 10% or $100B/y M.C. Roco, NSF, 10/18/02

  5. Timeline for beginning of industrial prototyping and commercialization Accidental nanotechnology: since 1000s yr (carbon black) Isolated applications (catalysts, composites, others) since 1990 • First Generation: passive nanostructuresin coatings, nanoparticles, bulk materials (nanostructured metals, polymers, ceramics): ~ 2001 – • Second Generation: active nanostructuressuch as transistors, amplifiers, actuators, adaptive structures: ~ 2005 – • Third Generation: 3D nanosystemswith heterogeneous nanocomponents and various assembling techniques ~ 2010 – • Fourth Generation: molecular nanosystemswith heterogeneous molecules, based on biomimetics and new design ~ 2020 (?) - M.C.

  19. Partial refocus in 2002: From synthesis to use of nanostructures Examples of new functions (A) Single Electron Molecular TransistorF. Di Salvo and D. Ralph, Cornell University, 2002 • The two molecules contain a central cobalt atom and differ in their length -- the shorter of about 2 nm one exhibits less resistance. At low temperature, the longer molecule functions as a single electron transistor, and the shorter molecule exhibits both transistor action and the Kondo effect. • The electrical characteristis of the transistor can be varied systematically by making chemical changes to the molecule.
